I currently have v3.3 installed and want to go back to v3.1. Can’t figure out how to do it.

Please download software version 3.10 from the following link:
http://www8.garmin.com/software/Edge605_705_310.gcd

  • Save the file to your desktop
  • Rename the file GUPDATE.GCD
  • Plug your Edge 605/705 into your computer
  • Drag and drop the .gcd file on your desktop into the Garmin directory on your Edge 605/705
  • Unplug your Edge 605/705 from your computer
  • Power your Edge 605/705 on
  • Follow the on-screen prompt and then allow for the software to back date

The link may be dead. I may still have the 3.1 file lying around… otherwise look for it on the Garmin site.

Were you able to find the 3.1 file?

Yes. Send an email to frostyjunction ‘at’ gmail ‘dot’ com and I will send it to you.

Awesome. Thanks for the fast response. I already have it downloaded.

Hopefully it resolves this auto pause issue. Quite annoying.
